Day Trip to Maldon, Vic

"The handworked kneeling cushions are worked
with designs to match the stained glass windows."
I don't know why I didn't take any shots of them.
Quoting from the guide pamphlet:
"Look
now at the
splendid east window. It depicts our Lord on the cross,
with his Mother on one side and John on the other.
The triple arched reredos, or panelling behind the altar
is made of cedar and blackwood, and glows with warmth."
"Mount the steps into the chancel, with choir-stalls on either side.
The organ was built in 1893 by Fincham and Hobday, a Melbourne firm.
The diapered (painted decorations) pipes have never been touched up,
and are probably the best preserved in Australia.
The finely carved case is kauri pine. The organ originally cost but £300 ($600)
and was completely restored in 1991 at a cost of more than $30,000."
Aren't these pipes magnificent ?
Would love to have seen the console !
